Demetrius "Big Meech" Flenory and his brother Terry "Southwest T" Flenory are the founders of the Black Mafia Family (B.M.F.).

They rose from the streets of Detroit to become hood legends.

Both are both currently serving 30-year sentences in federal prison after pleading guilty to money laundering and drug trafficking in 2007, but that's only a small part of a complex story that makes the brother's lives fascinating.

We will soon get an in depth look at B.M.F. via a Starz television series that is being executive produced by Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson and longtime partner Randall Emmett.

Meech recently penned a letter to 50 Cent, which was posted on the business mogul's Instagram account, giving him the green light for the project and explaining why he trusts Emmett and G-Unit Films and Television, Inc. to accurately portray the real B.M.F.

"First, I must say Fif and Randall given the success of your past creative collaborations on numerous feature films and particularly your television series, "Power," I feel that the two of you are the perfect team to tell "My Story."

"Read carefully, I'm not playing no games. BMF COMING SOON!!!" 50 captioned the letter. "It don't get realer then this, Now watch me work. I get the job done, you think I'm playing out here."

50 added that casting for the series will not go the traditional route.

"Casting for The BMF SERIES will be handled differently, it will not require all talent to have a agent to read for a roll," he explained. "I'm gonna find some diamonds in the dirt on this one.Meech & T both thought this would let the hood come show there talent. I WILL GIVE DATES,TIMES AND LOCATIONS SOON."

Erica Mena's life on camera can be documented from appearing in music videos as a teen to her long career as a reality star on E! and VH1, and while exposing her life to millions, she has been one of the most talked about reality stars.

In regards to her relationships and how many people she's slept with, some can assume her body count based on her public dating life, but someone decided to spread a rumor that she allegedly slept with 300 people, which she denies. The former Love and Hip Hop star was notoriously labeled in the past, and one tag she refuses to accept is being called a "hoe." She told DJ Vlad that she understands Amber Rose's "Slut Walk" movement, but says that she prefers people acknowledging her by her name and that labeling yourself as a hoe is contradicting in her opinion. "That's something I wouldn't embrace. If anything I would ignore it because it's a belittling thing."

Later they discussed her brief engagement to Bow Wow and revealed why they actually broke up stating that, "It's kind of hard being with someone that's more damaged than you are."

Three of Master P's children are going to bat for their father during his bitter divorce from their mom Sonya Miller.

As we previously reported, P, born Percy Miller, was ordered in November 2015, to pay his estranged wife $16,574 in spousal support and $10,473 in child support monthly until their split is officially settled.

Hercy, Mercy and Itali Miller are all 17 or younger. The child support funds are supposed to be used for them, but according to new legal documents filed by P, they spend the majority of their time with him because of their mom's alleged drug addiction.

TMZ reports that the kids have submitted letters to the court asking to have their dad's monthly payments to their mom reduced.

17-year old Itali says her grades suffer when she's with her mother.

"Although I love being with my mom I was unable to keep my grades up," Italit wrote. "Unfortunately, my mom was dealing with addiction issues that affected my older sister, who hasn't even had the opportunity to graduate high school."

P claims he's not raking in money like he used to. "The Bout It, Bout It" rapper told the court he lives on a monthly income of $2,441 and only has $432 in the bank.

Sonya and P have nine kids and have been married 25+ years.

LAS VEGAS (AP) — Conor McGregor got his revenge. Now he wants a third fight on his terms.

McGregor evened the score in his rivalry with Nate Diaz by outpointing him Saturday night at UFC 202 in a rematch of their two-round welterweight thriller in March.

The two put on an action-packed fight in which McGregor came out strong and then hung on in a tiring, bloody slugfest. Two of the judges scored it 48-47 for McGregor, and the other had it 47-47.

McGregor immediately challenged Diaz to a third fight — but only if Diaz would come down to the lightweight division.

"Surprise, surprise! The king is back!" McGregor said. "If you want this trilogy, it's on my terms. I came up to 170, now you'll come back to 155 and we'll finish what we've started. I knew what I had to do this time around and I did it."

McGregor (20-3) forced the action in the opening round, landing multiple leg kicks to Diaz's lead leg and a straight left that knocked down Diaz (20-11).

The Irishman took down Diaz twice more in the second round, bloodying his nose and appearing to have total control of the fight.

"I could have gone in there and pressed, but I was patient," McGregor said.

The persistent Diaz found his footing later in the second, though, unleashing a flurry of strikes and knocking McGregor against the fence. Diaz continued to attack in the third and, for the final 90 seconds of the fourth, they stood in the center of the cage and exchanged blows.

"I knew he would have success early," Diaz said. "Just as I expected, he was going to slow down and I was going to speed up."

They traded punches again in the fifth, and neither gained an edge until the final 10 seconds, when Diaz secured a trip and landed a few final shots from on top before the bell rang.

"I came here to fight. I want No. 3, I gave him No. 2, so let's do it," Diaz said.

McGregor exacted revenge for a loss at UFC 196. McGregor, already the featherweight champ, was initially scheduled to face Rafael dos Anjos for the lightweight title, but dos Anjos pulled out due to injury and McGregor agreed to fight Diaz at welterweight on late notice.

Diaz's endurance was the difference in the first fight. McGregor pummeled Diaz with multiple shots in the first round, giving Diaz a bloody facial gash, but Diaz weathered the storm and countered with a few shots of his own near the end of the round. Then Diaz dominated the second round with accurate, well-timed boxing before finishing the exhausted McGregor with a rear naked choke.

They were supposed to battle again at welterweight at the landmark UFC 200, but that bout was canceled after McGregor announced his retirement and refused to meet with media. McGregor didn't end up retiring, but the disturbance got him and Diaz dropped from the card.

Instead, the anticipated rematch was set for UFC 202. The garrulous McGregor had promised to finish Diaz early this time around, and promotion for the fight included a bottle-throwing melee at a press conference Wednesday.

"My respect to the opponent," McGregor said. "You have to respect Nate and the style that he brings."

Earlier, Anthony Johnson landed an uppercut 13 seconds into the first round to knock out Glover Teixeira in the co-main event between top-ranked light heavyweights. Johnson (22-5) flattened Teixeira (25-5) with the shot, forcing the referee to call an early end to the fight. Johnson has 13th victories in his past 14 fights.

"I'm coming for you Daniel," Johnson said, speaking to current light heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier, who was seated near the cage.

Donald Cerrone (31-7) stopped Rick Story (19-9) in a battle of ranked welterweights.

Grammy nominated Memphis producer/rapper and Drum Squad member, Drumma Boy, sits down with DJ Smallz and weighs in on a possible Drake and Kanye West untitled album as well as a Drake and Gucci Mane EP, rumored to be titled "6ixers". 

On a Drake and Kanye West collaborative album.

"A Drake and Kanye collab album would be dope. I like collab albums. I think it raises the bar for each individual artist, to kind of step their bars ... step their game up a little bit. And obviously the beats are more fashionable and spiced up and what not. You're getting the best of both world's. Save me two or three slots, Kanye. Don't play with me, come on now.. Drake is the fam. I think it would be interesting. I've been listening to what [Drake's producer Noah '40' Shebib] has been doing. I would even be down with a 40 collab. And doing some shit where Drake raps on this part of the beat, and then Kanye raps on [another] part of the beat. But it's the same tempo, same key, same ambiance, but like two different styles. I definitely would love to produce for the album."

On Gucci Mane and Drake's rumored mixtape "The 6ers"

"I've been hearing about that. A lot of people saying it could be possible. I'm for it, man. Any music and anything it's possible for dope beats to be on and just another dope project to ride to ... I'm always down for it."

Bronx, NY born/Harlem, NY raised rapper VampLife Records/The Diplomats member, Jim Jones, sits down with DJ Smallz and reflects on his recent 40th birthday, and how he celebrated, how much longer he plans on rapping for, his A&R skills and who is currently on his radar.

On turning 40

"It means a lot to me. Where I'm from most people didn't make it to see 40. Either they're dead or incarcerated. That's a true story. For me to make it to 40, I feel like I've lived a lot of life. A lot of life that I didn't feel like I would live. Coming up I had a live fast, die young attitude. I think I've gotten too old to die young. So, now I'll try to school the kids on how to live longer."

On how long he'll continue rapping.

"I don't think I'm over it. Music is something that moves you for life. My passion for music is something that will always be there. It's a passion that I acquired to love. It wasn't love at first sight, it was hustle at first sight. Music for me, was always the money first once I learned how to do it. With that I got better and became more competitive at it. The passion I have now is like any other artist. For the most part it's still business. I probably got two more albums left in me. We'll see how that goes."

Jones went on to name Lil Uzi Vert, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Young M.A., Neek Bucks, Dave East, Quick Trip, Ball Greezy and Philthy Rich as artists he's currently listening to.

The talented Chicago born singer has given fans a double dose of entertainment with his latest release of his hot new single “View” as well as the overall release of his self titled EP “Ezkiel” on Spotify and iTunes!

The single “View” is a reflection of the relationship between Ezkiel and his lady. The lyrics tell a story of how they met when the artist was dealing with “dark times” and, over time, the lady didn't the feel same love towards Ezkiel. The artist was so focused on his feelings for the woman, that he was overlooking obvious signs of the tainted relationship. After constantly being lied to and eventually feeling unappreciated, Ezkiel decided he needed to change his view, step back and observe the larger picture, just as he’d encouraged told his lover to do, in his previous single “Focus”. Shifting his perspective allowed Ezkiel to see that he would be better off loving this woman from afar, rather than to maintain the same tainted view.

Take a moment to listen to this relatable new single “View” by clicking here.

Additionally, you can purchase “Ezkiel” today, via iTunes and Spotify.

During this discussion with DJ Vlad, Redman talks about his notable covers on The Source and High Times. It's well documented that Redman is a fan of cannabis, through his raps and his role on How High alongside his good friend, Method Man. While talking about being friends with Cypress Hill for over 20 years and admits that he was fascinated by them and the weed they were photographed with on the cover of HighTimes magazine. "They had the ski masks on with the weed plant on." He excitingly tells DJ Vlad, "And they were just in there looking all smoked—like hippies, but rapping—with that green ass bud. I was like 'Yo, there's another f*cking world that I ain't tapping into." Shortly after their cover, Redman was asked to grace the cover.

Further on, Redman answers a question that may have left man wondering for almost 22 years. Why did Redman have a piece of tissue up his nose on the September issue of The Source? A magazine so prominent enough that it even once hosted its award shows. Redman's answer was simple and deep rooted to what he's learned while raised in Newark, "I had a tissue in my nose since I was like 16. I got bad sinus problems." Red said that the lack of cures and proper medication being out of reach, he said he kept a tissue in one nostril to prevent him from breathing through it and to stop his nose from running. Aside from it tarnishing his street look, he admits, "It was me...One thing I believed back then and I still believe to this day, I would advise all new artist that are coming out, is just to be who the f*ck you are."
